1 Jul 2023 - 8 Jul 2023
First week of July we hiked over less famous portion of Mala Fatra mountains in Slovakia with Alice and her sister's dog Bella. It was a bit risky, but turned out to be great adventure and nice time. Five days of hike over summits and valleys, grassy meadows, deep forests and occassional rocks, sleeping in tent, drinking from quells and cooking on gas stove. Last few days we spent in camp Slunecne skaly (Sunny rocks) and tried local rocks with some climbing. Slovakia at its best.

With bunch of colleagues we went to Western Tatras, hiked nice round-trip over
Baranec, Placlive, and Ostry Rohac back to campsite in Rackova valley. We were lucky
with beautiful weather and deeply enjoyed this nice part of Slovakia.

There is famous organized hike over Jeseniky mountains called The sixty. The
name refers to distance you have to hike, with good deal of elevation along the
journey. In a bout of optimism Alice wanted to sign up and attend, but in the
end we did not have anybody to take care of our kids. So we decided to
try it out ourselves, a little more relaxed way over two days. It was pretty
good, but we are still not sure we can make it in one day.

A quick trip to highest Slovakia mountains, Vysoke Tatry. With my colleague Tomas
we hiked to Bystre Sedlo (Sharp Saddle, 2300m) and the other day attempted
Vychodna Vysoka (Eastern High, 2429m), but the did not get to the top due to
bad weather. Nice and enjoyable trip.

Since our boys are finally getting age when they are able to walk, we decided
to try some mountains. Advertised for few weeks, Dan (age 5) was looking forward
and Honza (age 3) tolerated the intent. There is nice area in Jeseniky mountains,
so we went some 9 kilometers along the ridge. Turned out well, so next time we
can try something more difficult with them.

Third time in Western Tatras in Slovakia. The most demanding
route over most exposed area in the center of mountains. The weather
went against the forecast and it was quite nice during our day. However
at the end of the Saturday we felt very tired and Vit has troubles with
his knees.

Slovakia offer us many great mountains. This time we picked Western Tatras,
usually called Rohace (Horny mountains) by locals. The plan was to hike whole
ridge, but adverse weather with strong rain and fog forced us to go down to
other side soon after we make it to the top.

This is the highest and the most difficult part of our trekking over Corsica
mountains. Monte Rotondo, is second highest summit. Monte D'Oro, the beautiful
pyramid. Monte Cinto, the highest one. It took a loot of sweat, but as a reward
we got amazing landscape of mountains with sea in distance.

Upon this winter there is the last chance to go skiing. The nearest location of
remaining snow is in Jeseniky, probably just on the ridge. We traversed whole
lenght of Hruby Jesenik, in whole about thirty kilometers. Show covered it all,
so it went well. In contrast there are some photos from the descent, they are
much more springy.

Weekend on Slovak mountains, this time it is Lower Tatras (Nizke Tatry). As
planned we started on Friday, going to spend there as much time as possible.
Saturday found us in camp near the mountains, weather was rainy and unpleasant.
Me and Alice tried to reach Raztocka Hola, others rather spend some time in
caves. The other day, Sunday, however showed nicer face and allowed us to
ascend two highest hills here, Dumbier (2043m) and Chopok (2023m).
